89. Conspiracy (I)
Because of the defeat on the sea, Osaka Castle was undoubtedly in chaos. The special effect repair liquid www.biquge.info has been used to treat those capital ship mothers in an emergency, but there are still nearly ten capital ship mothers who are sunk in naval battles or subsequent towing operations. The fact that the originally high-spirited Combined Fleet has now become like this is enough to demoralize, and besides, Shimazu Heihachiro's courage and the words of the ship's girls when they left have been transmitted to the already small admiral circle through the mouths of the ship's mothers who participated in the battle, so there are also many admirals who worship Heihachiro's spirit or want to protect themselves, which further undermines the morale of Osaka Castle.
Although after that defeat, Shimazu Heihachiro's fleet was stationed not far from Osaka Castle, and while supplying and resting, he instigated the few remaining feudal states around him with the righteousness of Kamiraku, but he did not attack for a long time, but Osaka Castle continued to flee and more and more admirals who sabotaged and even resisted orders. The Satsuma clan did not seem to have the courage to fight, but there were still many people who had no hope for the current state of Osaka Castle.
The entire Osaka Castle army is unstable, and Isamu Yamamoto is also troubled by this, in fact, the defeat of a naval battle cannot completely reverse the disadvantage of the Satsuma Domain, and it only takes two days for all the damaged ships to be quickly transferred! And he is confident that even with those intact cruisers and Musashi and other 9 capital ships, he can completely block the waterway of Osaka Castle and reverse the defeat, but all this is only shattered because of the rumors circulating among the admirals!
"Damn! Shimazu Heihachiro's tricks are really powerful!" Yamamoto sat cross-legged on the tatami mat on the upper floor of the castle tower, thinking about it, and couldn't help but hammer the floor, "Use the same method against me, that fox of the Shimazu family is really merciless." ”
Isamu Yamamoto complained, but Yamato, who was sitting across from him, said, "Admiral, I don't think what the head of the Shimazu family said should be a lie!" She carefully described the conversation between herself and Shimazu Heihachiro at that time and the man's seemingly crazy but effective tactics, and then said, "People with that kind of courage absolutely disdain conspiracy and trickery, and even if it is a strategy, it will fail, and if your surname is still here, Osaka Castle is destined to only be broken and not chaotic or reversed." If it's just to break Osaka Castle, wouldn't it be better to defeat me and Musashi?"
"It's better for the old man to decide!" Isamu Yamamoto shook his head and didn't think about those things anymore, but got up and sat down beside Yamato, and asked with concern, "Sister Yamato, how is your body? I heard that you used a special bomb again?"
"Special bombs just consume a little more energy and resources, and this kind of thing recovers after a good bath. Yamato said and shook his head, "It's just that the ship's equipment is too badly damaged, and I may have to rely on you again in the next few days." ”
"It's okay to be physical, it's okay to be fine. Yamamoto Yong nodded again and again, Yamato is far more important to him than other ship girls, the failure of Yamato last time made him experience that kind of uneasy mood for the first time, so this time he was so worried about Yamato's body, "It's okay, I have relied on Sister Yamato so much, you can also take a break occasionally." ”
Turning his head to look at Isamu Yamamoto's frowning face, Yamato covered his mouth a little funny and said, "Is that what you want to say, Admiral?"
"Then what else?" said Isamu Yamamoto but sighed, "There are many things that the children of the Yamamoto family can't do. ”
Yamato was still smiling like that, of course she knew what she was thinking after getting along for more than ten years, but she didn't hate such a standing admiral, so she gently leaned on Isamu Yamamoto's shoulder and asked softly: "There is no one here, can the admiral give me something to rely on?"
"Sister Yamato, you know that even if I am willing, you are willing, but there are still many people who will not be willing. Although Yamamoto said this, he didn't push Yamato away, he just closed his eyes and didn't look at Yamato's mesmerizing long hair and kimono, "This kind of thing, in the end, you are the only one who will be hurt!"
"Does it hurt?" Yamato repeated softly, she looked up at Isamu Yamamoto who was frowning and closing his eyes tightly but blushing, but felt a little funny, obviously he was a child of the Yamamoto family and received so much harsh education, but he was still tempted by himself, and he was obviously the shipwden of the Yamamoto family and was severely restrained, but she also wanted to expose her weak side to him after the defeat. Yamato thought about the smile on the corner of her mouth, and she also closed her eyes, "If this is also a harm, there is no haven in this world! Admiral, you don't have to think too much, I'm just a little tired." ”
"Sister Yamato......" Isamu Yamamoto hesitated for a long time before saying the second half of the sentence, "I've been tired for so long, you can rest at ease!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently put Yamato in his arms, gently patting the other party's back, and Yamato also closed his eyes with peace of mind and took a nap with peace of mind.
……
At this time, the navy of the Satsuma Domain, which had taken a short rest, passed through the Iki Waterway and was slowly sailing towards Osaka Castle, and the fleet of Heihachiro in that naval battle was not much damaged but also needed to be replenished and rested, and the ship's facilities were still a little reluctant to repair the battleship's armament, and most of the goblins did not like the shaky planks, so he finally chose to settle in the nearby country of Awaji.
Probably the reason for the great naval victory, Shimazu soon received a warm welcome from the Awaji Province and even the Awa Province on the border, providing him with the ports and facilities he needed to recuperate, and also scraping together a number of rich resources from the barren feudal states. Of course, all this comes at a price.
"Lord Shimazu, this time, the head of the Wasuka family of the Tokushima Domain of the Kamirakusa Clan also wants to follow in your footsteps and petition the Imperial Family to abolish the Zanwing Society. The speaker was a traditional samurai retainer, his forehead was shaved and shiny, the back of his head was braided, and when he bowed, he still had his left hand slightly bent and his knuckles were weakly grasped, and he looked like a good hand with a knife, he got up and knelt aside, and then took out a letter from his bosom and continued, "Compared with the fierce actions of the Changzhou Domain, my lord thinks that you are really right. ”
"Are you finished?" Shimazu Heihachiro was still wearing that military uniform, and he couldn't see the former lord of the Satsuma domain at all, and instead of reading the letter, he looked the samurai up and down before saying, "Wasuka reenlightenment? It's a shame to be a member of that kind of domain." But for your sake, don't beat around the bush about what your head of the family wants, just tell me, right?"
"It's really a compelling spirit!" Wasuka Shigego couldn't help but sigh, in his opinion, compared to the head of the family who hid in the city and didn't dare to meet the guests, but was extremely greedy, this person in front of him was really dazzling and difficult to look at! He thought about it, lowered his head and followed Heihachiro's words and said, "The head of my family hopes to be able to take back the actual ruling power of Awaji Province and Awa Province. ”
"Then how many guns and artillery soldiers do you have, and how many ships can be dispatched?" Heihachiro looked at the way Wasuka Shigego shook his head bitterly, and then laughed, "Hahaha! As a feudal lord, do you want to use the method of wagging your tail and begging for mercy to regain the land?"
"Although the head of the Shimazu family asked for it, it was indeed a little reluctant......"
"Needless to say, it will only make me look down on that Tokushima clan even more!" Heihachiro then looked at the wasuka Shigego over there who was still ready to argue with his argument and replied seriously, "Tell your master! If he is willing to tear down the tiles on the top of his castle and expel you from the Wasuka family, then I may think about it!"
Hearing this, Wasuka Shigego immediately stood up in anger: "Master Shimazu, although the Tokushima Domain is weak, it is not something you can easily insult!
"You just have to go and talk, and you actually want to know what kind of person your head of the house is, right?" Heihachiro said as if his patience had run out, leaving the eager Wasuka Shigego and leaving alone.
"Admiral, does this person really deserve your attention?" asked Heihachiro as soon as he entered the inner door, and the planning ship 111, which had been resting here, was puzzled. Thanks to the last bold voyage, Heihachiro's impression of her has changed a lot, and of course, there may also be a reason for Heihachiro's own change of mentality, so she couldn't repair those special equipment for a while, so she was able to follow Heihachiro as a "saber with outstanding military achievements".
"His eyes are very sharp, I think Tenryu and Tatsuda will like him!" Heihachiro said absently, turning his head to look out the window and laughing again, "Besides, I just said that I was just thinking about it! Don't think I'm really going to say yes, a fool of the Tokushima Domain, right?"
Project Ship 111 laughed in agreement, her admiral had unconsciously changed a lot, and the arrogance was so noticeable.
At this time, Heihachiro suddenly turned around and asked the planning ship 111, "111, do you think the next journey will be too boring?
The planner 111 didn't know why his own admiral had that question, maybe it was his decisiveness in the war and his courage to discard his name that attracted him, or maybe it was just the samurai's muttering to the sword?
"Yes, that's a good answer!" Heihachiro walked over and pinched the chin of Project Ship 111 and lifted her head, "The only person who knows me so well is the sword in my hand!" he said as he looked down at Project Ship 111, whose face flushed.
"So you're such a beauty?" Heihachiro sighed and then put down his hand and continued, "Then grow long hair, my ship's mother can't be looked down upon by that kind of Yamato! ”
